BPS-2020 (Bypass Switcher) Receiving the System - Unpacking The BPS-2020 consists of a 2 rack unit electronics frame and one or more control panels. Power cards are provided for each device. The 1 rack unit control panel can exist as the following versions; the BPS-8 (eight button control panel), the BPS-16 (multi-channel control panel), or the BPS-16S (16 source control panel).
General Overview How the System is Used The BPS-2020 is intended to be downstream of all processing equipment in a standard TV station environment. The Audio/Video output would directly feed the transmission system of a station. The system can also be used in any other AV switching application.
General Overview Video Card Variations There are two different video crosspoint cards. This card is the heart of the system from a control standpoint, and orchestrates all system activities. The 121188-2 card is an 8 input crosspoint, while the 121188-1 is a 16 input crosspoint.
BPS-2020 (Bypass Switcher) System Installation Rack Mounting The 2 Rack Unit electronics frame should be installed near the master control switcher in the main audio/video path of the system. The 1 Rack Unit control panel should be installed in the Master Control room where it is easily accessible to the operator.
The cable then loops through the BPS-2020 chassis on the two “BPS-NET” RJ-45 connectors. The open connector on the last BPS-2020 should be terminated with USI part number 65324-04. Note that each BPS-2020 must be addressed with a dipswitch on the video crosspoint card. Chapter 1...

Optionally, a DA card can be purchased that provides an active loop output for each input.
Operation is very straight forward. The left bank of 8 buttons selects the BPS-2020 chassis you wish to control. When a channel is selected, the right bank of buttons will show its current status. A cycling lamp pattern will indicate that the designated address is not communicating.
121188-2 8x1 crosspoint, and the 121186-1 should only be used with the 121188-1 16 Input crosspoint. Slots 3, 4 – either the BPS-2020 Digital Audio (121184-1) crosspoint, the BPS-2020 Analog Audio Crosspoint (121183-1), or the Deluxe Audio crosspoint can be placed here.
PCB Mounted Controls and Indicators PCB Mounted Controls and Indicators Power Supplies • The power supplies are calibrated at the factory. No field adjustment is necessary. • The supplies have Red LED’s that indicate failure of the 5V, 3.3V, +-12V, integral fan and overtemperature. They also have a bi-color LED that is green when all other failure leds are off, and red when one or more of the other alarms trip.

This section provides details about the physical INPUT connections of the UTAH-200 breakout panel when used with the BPS-2020. • The BPS-2020 supports eight inputs. Each audio input can have up to eight channels (four AES streams) of digital audio.
The P1 connector on the crosspoint card is a diagnostic port used for system upgrades, configuration and debugging. It is an RS-232 port and must be communicated to with a suitable terminal emulation program installed on a PC. Utah Scientific provides a program called TeraTerm as part of its standard documentation package. Connector To ease the connection, an adapter from DB9 to RJ-45 is provided (USI Part Number 140000-8, “UT-400”).
Appendix C Debug Port Terminal Emulation Settings The following settings should be made in order to communicate with the BPS-2020. ·Baud Rate–38400. ·Data Bits - 8. ·Stop Bits - 1. ·Parity - None. ·Handshake - XON/XOFF. Verifying Communication The Diagnostic Port reports every switch that is made, and responds to commands entered into the terminal.
The firmware on the Video Crosspoint Card will provide the ability to field reprogram the DSP. Before you attempt to upgrade software in the card, consult with Utah Scientific Customer Service to ensure you are upgrading to the proper version for your application.
